Dear ET

Anyone know what cities Gordon Yao visits during his US tour in the fall? Thought someone may have kept his fall tour schedule from last year.

It wouldn't be too out of my way, and certainly cheaper than flying to HK, to catch Yao at the start of his trip, get something cut and (basted fitting?) in NY, and then get it altered again at San Fran. I assume the first fitting is the most important? Anyway, here it is: GORDON YAO & COMPANY CUSTOM TAILOR SHOP 116, THE ROYAL GARDEN HOTEL 69, MODY ROAD, KOWLOON, HONG KONG Tel: 2730-1545 Fax: 2736-2311 E-mail: [email protected] \t\t\t \t\t\t I have the pleasure to inform you that I shall be visiting your city according to following schedule:- \t\t\t CITY \tDATE \tHOTEL \tPHONE \t\t\t NEW YORK CITY \tJune 7th thr. 12th \tTHE NEW YORK PALACE HOTEL \t(212) 888-7000 NEW YORK \t\t455 Madison Avenue \t \t\tNew York, N.

I'm willing to bet they're the same as the summer.

I think they add or drop a city or two in the fall. I know NY, Beverly Hills and San Francisco are always on the list twice a year.

In the fall, its the week of Thanksgiving.

Decent price on a staple stripe tie. I think someone on these forums compared lands end ties to polo.

Some of the ties are even cheaper now, and if you use the code ASOStreats another 10% is taken off.

This has been going on for over a week?

Is there a code for this? or is the extra 25% dead? the discount does not appear to be active when i add the ties to my cart.
